Blazetrailer: As inflation is nearing 40% and the Naira js getting devalued everyday, see what these dafts spent 2 days deliberating upon. Misplaced priorities .
Not surprised anyway. The looter of Lagos has been found out. No economic sense.
CodeTemplar: Any calamitous move they want to make, they make it sound normal and so casual. Borrowing from the savings of the young and middle aged workers to fund an unproductive system will be one of the final stroke if not the final stroke. All the useless infrastructure they have built, how many can repay a quarter of their cost? Nonsense!
APC is a den of armed robbers. I can tell you for free, those pension funds are as good as stolen
Lukmanraji: My gf of seven years has been giving me attitude recently which I noticed sometimes last year. I observed that she always check my phone to look for something to hold against me. Yes, she suspected that I'm having something with someone. So, every time she's around me, she always find one or two thing that will lead to argument and all that. Aside that, the respect, love and intimacy between us reduced drastically.
Fast forward to this year, She successfully read a chat on my phone where I was talking dirty with someone. That's the genesis of the whole mess I'm in right now. She just walked out quietly and decided to end it all. Since then, I've not been myself because this is the person I have planned to live the rest of my life with. So, I started begging her but she's not giving me any green light. I called, messaged her but no response. I asked my Junior brother to beg on my behalf but she didn't succumb to that not until my dad intervened to apologize on my behalf.
So, she call me that we need to see. I rushed to visit her and apologize again and again. She agreed to continue with the relationship but she hasn't forgiven me. After few weeks of the whole issue. I suspected that she's hiding something from me. Then one fateful night, I spy on her phone when she was unlocking her phone. That night, I was able to access her phone while she was asleep.
I checked her WhatsApp, I discovered that she has been clearing her chat with one particular guy who happens to be her friend from NYSC since 2021. They became close as they both work in the same financial institution but in a different branch. Then I went further to her Instagram page to see what's going there.
To my greatest surprise, I discovered that they have been having an affair since 2023. My gf has been throwing herself to this guy, they have been going to the cinema together and other places. On her birthday, my babe and this guy went out together without my knowledge, they both book uber to somewhere without my knowledge, they were both sharing their feelings online, talking about marriage, how to raise their kids irrespective of their religion differences and my babe even throwing herself to the guy for sex. Everything thing I found in their chat especially how my babe has been treating this guy with love and respect is the opposite of how my babe has been treating me lately.
So, I screenshoted all the evidence and save on my phone. I then challenged her that she's cheating on me with that guy but she blatantly denied it. Not until I showed her all the evidences with me before she began to cry fowl and started debunking all I saw. She claimed that they are not true, they were just playing and not into any thing serious. They are friends and that's how they banter each other online. All her excuses were not genuine but I still forgive her on one condition that I don't want to see her with the guy again and she should cut off any form of friendship or relationship between them because I had done something more than that to her just recently and she forgive me.
Meanwhile, during the cause of this issue, I proposed to my gf that we should take this relationship to the next level by seeing her parents this year and maybe by the end of the year, we do the whole thing. The shock response I got from her was that she's not in a rush to settle down with me. Not even this year as she's just healing from the heartbreak I caused her and I can't use marriage to tie her down then I continue breaking her heart. There's no how I tried convincing her that I am a changed man now as I am ready to take responsibility and be a responsible person.
After few weeks, I logged into her whatsapp on my system and then again I found out that she's still talking to this guy and they were even planning on going out again. I got angry and send proof to her but guess what, my babe para for me for cloning her whatsapp on my system. Hell almost let lose that evening. This time around, she felt unapologetic about the primary issue that I warned her to desist from. Funny enough, after close observation, I learnt that they move their chats from whatsapp to Snapchat where their chat is just "view once". Then I knew that this lady is not ready to stop talking to this guy. I have shouted over and over this matter but this time around, my babe is now feeling lackadaisical about this issue.
Right now, my babe is now comfortable with the guy and she's now sitting on defense about this matter. In our last conversation, my GF literarily told me that she doesn't love me anymore. And then she started rewinding all my past during the cause of the relation and using it as an excuse for not been able to love me like she used to. In our conversation, the only thing she didn't mention is that we should go on our separate ways (break up) but everything she said to me indirectly simply means that she is done with me.
I felt unloved as this is the woman I never placed anyone above, this is the woman I've nurtured when we were in school and outside school. I respected her and love her so much that she has become part of me. My parents, family and friends are expecting us to tie the knot soon but here is my babe telling me she's not in love with me anymore. I felt unloved about this whole thing and I'm heartbroken.
I am lost and crying inside silently as I never expected someone I have sacrificed something huge for before to be acting like this to me. I'm depressed. I need mature advise from you guys. Thank you.
Be like say you no too hold bar...or at least that sneaky banker hold pass you
That girl is gone, you can't have her again. But the beautiful thing is that she won't have a good marriage with that guy, it will end in tears. Console yourself with that and stop begging and making a mess of yourself with her, it's unmanly.
Bobloco: The federal government is making a move to rev up economic growth by unlocking N20 trillion from the nation’s pension funds to finance critical infrastructure projects across the country.
Finance Minister and coordinating minister of the Economy, Wale Edun, disclosed this to State House correspondents after a two-day Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting presided by President Bola Tinubu at the Presidential Villa on Tuesday.
Finance Minister and coordinating minister of the Economy, Wale Edun, disclosed this to State House correspondents after a two-day Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting presided by President Bola Tinubu at the Presidential Villa on Tuesday.
He said the initiative forms a key part of Tinubu’s broader reforms to stabilise the economy amid high inflation and interest rates.
To this end, he said the government will collaborate closely with private sector players to tap into the over N20 trillion pool of long-term funds available with Nigeria’s pension, life insurance and investment funds.
The Minister said, “and one of the key drivers of economic growth is investment in infrastructure, in housing, power, rail, roads, water transport, even technology.
“These are key drivers of economic growth, they increase product when you invest in them, you get increased productivity, you get economic growth, and you get job creation, which reduces poverty.
“And that is the strategy, so it’s two-pronged and we’re not pivoting towards this all-important growth and you say where were the resources coming from? Nigeria is resilient, Nigerians are resilient.
“And the fact is that even before we start looking to foreign investors, we start looking to foreign funding, there is available in Nigeria, long term funds to fund infrastructure projects, and it’s within the pension.
“The life insurance and investment fund industry. Generally, there is offers of 20 trillion Naira available, or much of it is in short-term funding that doesn’t need to be quite sure money is long term. People save over their lifetime for their pension.
“And so in conversation, in consultation, collaboration and cooperation with the private sector, we are now able to announce and with the full knowledge and support of all parties, that there will be an initiative to fund growth through investment in infrastructure, including housing provision of mortgages, long term mortgages, 25 year mortgages at relatively low interest rates.
“Initially, of course, the government will standby and provide some support, particularly in this era of high interest rates but eventually as interest rates come down, there should be less room for the government through providing, for example, guarantees and so forth.”
He said this large corpus will be deployed to finance housing, power plants, rail, highways, and cutting-edge technology infrastructure.
The model envisions the government providing enablers like guarantees initially to facilitate affordable 25-year mortgages at low interest rates.
While drawing on domestic savings was the immediate focus, the initiative is expected to attract foreign investment interest over time by demonstrating Nigeria’s commitment to infrastructure development.
The Finance Minister exuded confidence, stating that: “The best minds have committed to realising this ambitious vision that leverages our own resources to build a prosperous future.”
MrBrownJay1: let me get this straight: so a woman assaulted this crossdresser because she thought he was gonna steal her man?!?!?!?! shouldnt this woman get rid of her homo/bisexual yeye man instead? so your man is interested in this yeye crossdresser, and you are upset and go attack the crossdresser (instead of questioning the sexuality of the bastard bisexual/homo he-diot you call "your man" )?!? oh yes, you need to be arrested!
ladies, if some yeye crossdresser helps you discover the true sexual orientation of your man, then you should THANK THE CROSSDRESSER instead of trying to beat the bobrisky wannabe.
vengertime: Even though it would benefit my state(Port Harcourt) if it was possible. People shouting coastal highway have never been to the water front areas,
If you have ever been to Lagos and you know third mainland bridge. That's the kind of bridge you would need that will cut across the stretch of Delta State, Bayelsa and Port Harcourt talkless of Akwa Ibom.
These areas are creeks and mangroves sea.
For me what I understand it's going on here is that Chagoury man wants to use coastal highway tactics to claim Lagos water front. That's why his company started sand filling wether anyone like it or not.
The first picture below is Delta State area alone. To fund the high bridge that will cross these areas America, Chinese and Europeans will have to come together to fund it for us.
What gave you the impression that they have ny intention of building anything beyond Lagos? It's been conceived as an uncompleted project from day one, funds will be disbursed but diverted to other sources as usual
NairaOcean: Shade Okoya, the wife of Nigerian billionaire Rasaq Okoya, pleasantly surprised a young boy with a kind gesture. It happened during a public event where Shade Okoya was vibing to a Yoruba song.
While the boy stood nearby, seemingly unaware of the unfolding scene in his smart attire, Shade Okoya reached into her purse and withdrew a bundle of N1000 notes. She approached the boy and presented him with the bundle of naira notes.
Caught off guard, the boy's initial astonishment quickly transformed into a broad grin as he graciously accepted the unforeseen gift.
